Abstract: Let

O m e g a s u b s e t m a t h b b R^{n + 1}

,

n g e 2

, be a 1-sided non-tangentially accessible domain (aka uniform domain), i.e., a set which satisfies the interior Corkscrew and Harnack chain conditions, respectively scale-invariant/quantitative versions of openness and path-connectedness. Assume that

O m e g a

satisfies the so-called capacity density condition. Let

L_{0} u = - m a t h r m d i v (A_{0} a b l a u)

,

L u = - m a t h r m d i v (A a b l a u)

be two real (non-necessarily symmetric) uniformly elliptic operators, and write

o m e g a_{L_{0}}

,

o m e g a_{L}

for the associated elliptic measures. The goal of this program is to find sufficient conditions guaranteeing that

o m e g a_{L}

satisfies an

A_{i} n f t y

-condition or a

R H_{q}

-condition with respect to

o m e g a_{L_{0}}

. We show that if the discrepancy of the two matrices satisfies a natural Carleson measure condition with respect to

o m e g a_{L_{0}}

, then

o m e g a_{L} i n A_{i} n f t y (o m e g a_{L_{0}})

. Moreover,

o m e g a_{L} i n R H_{q} (o m e g a_{L_{0}})

for any given

1 < q < i n f t y

if the Carleson measure condition is assumed to hold with a sufficiently small constant. This extends previous work of Fefferman-Kenig-Pipher and Milakis-Pipher-Toro who considered Lipschitz and chord-arc domains. Here we go beyond as the capacity density condition is much weaker than the existence of exterior Corkscrew balls. The "large constant" case, where the discrepancy satisfies a Carleson measure condition, is new even for nice domains such as the unit ball, the upper half-space, or Lipschitz domains, and is obtained using the method of extrapolation of Carleson measure. Our domains do not have a nice surface measure: all the analysis is done with the underlying measure

o m e g a_{L_{0}}

. When particularized to Lipschitz, chord-arc, or 1-sided chord-arc domains, we recover previous results and extend some of them. Our arguments rely on the square function and non-tangential estimates proved in arXiv:2103.10046.
